Temporal resolution criterion for correctly simulating relativistic electron motion in a high-intensity laser field
Alexey V. Arefiev, Ginevra E. Cochran, Douglass W. Schumacher +2
Particle-in-cell codes are now standard tools for studying ultra-intense laser-plasma interactions. Motivated by direct laser acceleration of electrons in sub-critical plasmas, we…
Liquid crystal films as on-demand, variable thickness (50-5000 nm) targets for intense lasers
P. L. Poole, C. D. Andereck, D. W. Schumacher +6
We have developed a new type of target for intense laser-matter experiments that offers significant advantages over those currently in use. The targets consist of a liquid crystal…
Enhancing Bremsstrahlung Production From Ultraintense Laser-Solid Interactions With Front Surface Structures
S. Jiang, A. G. Krygier, D. W. Schumacher +2
We report the results of a combined study of particle-in-cell and Monte Carlo modeling that investigates the production of Bremsstrahlung radiation produced when an ultraintense la…
